Hhee… it may look fishy, but at least we voted NO.
The regular people were expecting the Philippines will vote Yes, being Microsoft is very strong in our country, but it's a NO and we celebrate. Maybe thanks to the FOSS Initiative.

Read the press release carefully. The BSI does not say which way it voted! It has been pressed on this in private correspondence and simply says that its policy is not to reveal which way it has voted!

As a British citizen I feel I can hold my head up a little higher today. I was sure that our so-called leaders would bow to pressure from America and Microsoft.

Is there anywhere where I can read a summery of what comments were in this "no with comments", was it easily solvible things like "the year 2000 isn't a leap year" or is it bigger issues like "duplicates another standard"
